Press release:
Edinburgh, Scotland – August 24th, 2023. A new trailer for Firestoke and Moonloop Games stunning indie adventure, “Hauntii“, debuted today at IGN’s Awesome Indies show.

First unveiled for PC and Console at Day of the Devs, where it was picked out as one of the highlights of the Summer Game Fest by the likes of PC Gamer and Kotaku, this new gamescom trailer provides a second look at this charming title described by GamesRadar+ as “as clever as it is endearing” and praised by The Guardian for its “beautifully ethereal soundtrack”.

Hauntii is a beguiling adventure built around a creative haunting mechanic that lets you possess the environment and the creatures that inhabit it. Once you’ve taken control, you can take on enemies using the special abilities of Hauntii’s denizens and come up with ingenious solutions to overcome the many challenges littered across Hauntii’s enchanting world.

You will be possessed by a captivating blend of exploration, puzzle solving and twin-stick shooting, all set in a stunning hand-crafted world filled with charming characters, and underpinned with a ghostly mystery that will see you diving deep into your past.

Hauntii’s striking art combines with an enchanting soundtrack made by Micheal Ward (Light Return) to create a wonderful aesthetic experience that balances cosyness, mystery and melancholy.

Hauntii’s world is a relaxing and wondrous place to be, shifting effortlessly between compelling puzzling, minimalist storytelling, action and discovery.

Hauntii is set in Eternity, a place that exists outside of space, where all souls eventually end up. No ghost can truly die in Eternity, but all can be led astray, corrupted into hellish versions of their former selves.

A mysterious race of glowing creatures, known as Eternians, guides lost souls to an ominous central tower where they appear to ascend to a higher plane. They look like angels, but no one really knows who they are, nor where they came from. Can you journey to the tower? Can you solve the mystery behind the Eternians? Can you decode your own past?
